I have pics of both

In my gallery. The central difference is fueling, please look at the pics, the 100 is J shaped and is not as aggressive as the zero at full on defueling right away. itys a more gradual increase of fuel. The zero just has all out smoke and power at all times available on tap. With ur 370s though,215 pump, and 3K GSk, u might have too much fuel with the 100 or the zero for ur turbo though. Just watch ur egts and make sure u have good gauges, and ull be ok, If i was u, id slap the 100 in, the zero is just too much.. I know, ive ran them both.....

If u dont like to watch the pyro too much, and tow alot, the 10 is betteer for u, if ur truck is a to, id say the 100, But with either or, the 0 or 100 ur gonna need to watch that pyro when u hit the no defueling point...

My truck is actually slower with a 100 plate than a 10 plate.

Any guesses why ??

FP is 24# plus at any rpm, turbo will push 36 psi

it is probably due to the lever not hitting the plate properly...u have to check ur lever adjustment and adjust accordingly

That was my thought...I also think that is why is doesn't seem to have as much power with the #10 as it should.
